DC Universe Online Megaservers Start Today

Share.

Sony Online Entertainment's bringing the heroes and villains together once and for all.

When DC Universe Online -- Sony Online Entertainment's comic book MMO -- started, it had a bunch of different servers for people to play on. Now, with player populations smaller, the company is moving to "megaservers" that will combine pervious servers into four new ones. The megaservers will be divided by platform and region.

The process starts today, but it will last for the next week as the servers are slowly rolled out. Here's the schedule.

EU PC - 8/8/2011 - 8:00AM PT/5:00PM CET

US PC - 8/10/2011 - 8:00AM PT/5:00PM CET

US PS3 - 8/11/2011 - 8:00AM PT/5:00PM CET

EU PS3 - 8/15/2011 - 8:00AM PT/5:00PM CET

This merger leads to possible complications. SOE is aware that character and league names might be duplicated when the servers merge. If that happens, activity and hours played will be used to decide who the keeper of a given name will be. If you lose your name, one will be assigned to you and you'll be given a name change token you can use to come up with a moniker.
